If you’re planning a family holiday to the Americas, you should definitely be taking into account your family’s potential exposure to the Zika virus.

13-year-old
Miro Siegel is truly a global citizen. He and his mother, Lainie of blog Raising Miro, have been
traveling for over 3 years and don’t plan to stop any time soon. His checklist
includes Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and Colombia. Miro doesn’t attend
formal school but participates in “unschooling” and is even helping produce a
learning retreat in Peru. He tells suitcases&strollers why he loves
his life on the road and doesn’t miss attending class.

Lainie Liberti of Raising Miro is a single mum who wanted her son, Miro, to learn about the world. So in 2008 she sold her Californian business and took the then 9-year-old on the road. They have been travelling ever since and covered 12 countries in South and Central America including Belize, Chile and Panama. (They currently live in Cusco, Peru where they have been for the last 7 months.) Lainie tells suitcases&strollers about why she chooses to dedicate her life to permanent travel with kids.
